Alejandra Rold\u00e1n and Dr. Amaranta Arellano answer the question “Why must cacti be your first plant?<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The Cactaceae (<\/b>Cactaceae<\/i><\/b>) are a plant family<\/b> that belong to the order <\/span>Caryophylalles<\/span><\/i>. They are native to the American continent and <\/span>Mexico has almost 50% of all existing species.<\/b><\/p>\n

They have a great value in Mexican culture<\/a> and an ornamental relevance, because when flowering, cacti generate a dynamic of colors in themselves, which, when placed together, <\/span>evokes a Mexican landscape, energetic and colorful.<\/b> In addition, in the cacti you can also find cochineals, an insect that inhabits the nopales and from which color can be subtracted for textiles.<\/span><\/p>\n
